You think that's bad - I've seen a late 80's Fox with a Vortech blown smallblock that supposedly had 600+lb-ft of torque run worse. He ran a 15 at near 130mph on drag radials. While the ET sucked, it was kind of impressive to see him burn out through 4 gears all the way past half-track. He never made traction until late in 4th gear. The reason was he had the full Griggs GR-40 package on it. IRS or not, a car with a stiff handling suspension and a ton of power is going to be tough to run down the 1/4.
